Chen Xiao was worried about not knowing the way to the village, so Sanshuan Niu refused to let him go and wanted to take him home. He tied the big cow to a tree, and the two calves did not run around, but followed their mother and ate grass obediently.

Sanshuan's face flushed with joy when he met the most promising cousin in the family. He danced with joy all the way and told Chen Xiao everything he knew without waiting for him to ask.

The original silly boy traveled all over the country with the caravan and could only come back a few times a year. When he came back occasionally, he would give some money. Every time this happened, Sanshuan's family would have a better time. So in the boy's heart, he admired and worshipped this cousin very much.

The caravan had sent a message to inform them that their child was seriously injured and was left in the county town to recuperate. The whole family was very sad and worried, but life at home was tight and they couldn't even raise the money for the trip, so they didn't go to visit him.

It was not until three months ago when Master Zhou Wu visited him again that he saw that Han Wa had recovered and found a new and respectable job. Only then did he feel confident enough to come and tell his uncle and his family, who had always been concerned about him.

As for what Master Zhou Wu said, that Silly Boy's brain was damaged due to a long-term high fever, and he could not remember anything in the past. The uncle and aunt did not care too much. As long as the child was alive, could support himself, and live a good life, they would be worthy of their deceased brother and sister-in-law.

Sanshuan was still young, so he couldn't understand what it was like to have your brain burned out and forget everything. He was worried that his cousin would become like the stupid son of the family in the east of the village. He only knew how to smile and drool every day, and was teased by the bad boys in the village, but he didn't know how to resist at all.

Once, Sanshuan saw that the bad boy gave him a piece of cow dung and told him that it was a corn cake, but he stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. Cow dung was so smelly, and even if Sanshuan had never seen a corn cake, he knew that the two were completely different. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and knocked it away, the fool would have eaten it!

Thinking that his cousin would become a fool, Sanshuan was so worried that he couldn't sleep well. He thought that he was the oldest boy in the family and should take on the responsibility of the eldest son. In the future, he would have something to eat and would never let his cousin starve. He would never let him go out on the street and be tricked into eating cow dung.

The little boy's mind was full of twists and turns, and the adults who were busy earning money to support the family naturally didn't notice his worries. He was only eleven years old, far from being the breadwinner of the family. No one would tell him that what he was doing was completely useless.

So, he was extremely happy when he saw his cousin suddenly appear, safe and sound and in good spirits.

Because of his childhood experience, Chen Xiao is particularly kind to such young, hard-working, and sensible children. Sanshuan's troubles seemed like a joke to adults, but he thanked the boy seriously. Thank him for his responsibility and kindness.

Sanshuan's face turned redder and darker because of Chen Xiao's seriousness. He thought to himself that his cousin looked much better after losing weight. And he was different when he went to work in the county town. He spoke more politely and methodically, just like the well-educated young master of the richest family in the village. In an instant, the boy admired his cousin even more.

Sanshuan took Chen Xiao for a long walk, passing through half of the village, and arrived at a farmhouse with a mud wall at the edge of the village.

Sanshuan said, "Brother Hanwa, you go in first. My father doesn't come back until he gets home from work in the evening, and only my mother and sister are at home. You must be tired from traveling, so take a rest first. I have to go back to the mountain to look after the cows."

Chen Xiao entered the farmyard, which had three mud houses, the main house, and the left and right wing rooms. The yard was large, but messy. There was a chicken coop with three chickens. Chen Xiao took a rough look and found that only the main house and the left wing room were habitable. The right wing room was half kitchen and half storage for sundries.

Perhaps hearing her son's voice, a woman with messy hair and a dark patterned headscarf came out. She was surprised to see Chen Xiao. Although the person in front of her was a stranger, she felt familiar. Chen Xiao took the initiative to walk over and saluted the other party: "Are you Auntie? I am Hanwa."

The aunt, like Sanshuan, was full of disbelief. She looked at him from head to toe two or three times before she dared to say, "What a silly kid..." Then she looked at Chen Xiao standing in front of her and smiled. For some reason, her face became hot and she hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, come in and sit down!"

The aunt turned around and entered the main house. Chen Xiao carried his bag on his back and went up two steps and walked into the main house. This house was similar to the houses he had seen in the countryside in his previous life. There was also a main room at the entrance, which was used for entertaining guests and eating. There were two suites on both sides, each for living. The only difference was that this house was smaller and shorter, which made people feel a little cramped.

My aunt entered the side with the curtain, and the other side didn't even have a curtain, only a straw curtain. Chen Xiao guessed that the one with the cloth curtain was my uncle's and aunt's bedroom, and as for the one with the straw curtain, since he couldn't see it, he didn't know who lived there.

Chen Xiao put his bag on the old table, looked down and saw that the chair had all four legs, then he dared to sit down. He was not being overly suspicious, he had been to a poorer family, and the chair only had three legs left, but they did not throw it away, instead they tied a piece of wood to it and continued to use it.

Auntie came out again, her hair was neatly combed, and her headscarf was changed to a brightly colored one. She said to Chen Xiao attentively, "Are you tired after the journey? Do you want to lie down in the room first?"

Chen Xiao said politely: "I'm not tired. I'm riding in a bullock cart, which is very stable."

My aunt said "Oh" and said, "Your uncle is working for his employer right now. You wait at home for a while, I'll go call him back." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Chen Xiao stood up quickly: "No need to call, it's only half a day, it won't make a difference. We are all family, why should we be so polite?" He pulled the package off the table, "Aunt, don't be busy, I brought back a gift from the county town. Do you like it?"

It wasn't that Auntie Hanwa wanted to be polite, but the strange feeling on Chen Xiao's body was too obvious after he came in, which made her unconsciously restrained. After hearing Chen Xiao's greeting, Auntie came over and sat at the table.

Usually, Silly Boy would only bring money when he came back, so this was the first time he brought something. Auntie was just curious about the snacks, but when she saw the fine cloth, she felt more than curious, she was completely delighted.

The only daughter is now fourteen years old and has started to prepare for marriage. She also does some embroidery work on weekdays. The older Sanshuan started to herd cattle for the employer, and the youngest one was more favored, but he also learned to go up the mountain to collect firewood with the older children. With the efforts of the whole family, the money for buying this house is finally almost paid off.

Because of this foreign debt, it was not easy to buy a new piece of clothing. The older ones were always given to the younger ones, sewing and patching them up.

Her hand touched the fine cloth again and again, and the aunt murmured, "Silly boy, you are thoughtful, you are thoughtful."

Chen Xiao was so annoyed that there was actually such a more rustic way to call this nickname of Hanwa. Seeing that the woman was only focused on the fine cloth, he coughed lightly and said, "Aunt, I came back this time for one thing, which is to get a good name."

Auntie looked up at him in surprise, a little at a loss: "Are you going to be famous now? Isn't it a little early?"

Going to Daming is a unique phenomenon in the countryside of this world.

Everyone here has a name plate since birth. It is a small metal plate of unknown material, only the size of a thumb. You can carry it with you or leave it at home. But if you go on a long trip, you must carry this name plate with you, because it is a certificate equivalent to an ID card.

The small tag on the name disc has the name, birth year, appearance, and address of the owner written on it. In addition to the copy of the name disc in the owner's hand, there is also a copy in the place where he is registered. This is the way this world manages household registration.

When a person is young, his appearance is very different from when he grows up. Therefore, the appearance characteristics on the name disc are not fixed and must be modified every once in a while. Updating the information on the name disc is not free and requires a certain fee. This is an extra expense for poor families, so many poor families are unwilling to replace the new name disc.

Of course, if these people insist on not changing, no one will force them to change. But these people must not encounter a strict inspection of the famous disc. Otherwise, if the description on the famous disc does not match the person, not only will the famous disc be turned in, but the person will also be detained by the inspection party. He will not be released until the identity of the holder is investigated.

If you are a novice who follows the caravan around everywhere, you must pay attention to updating the name disc to avoid all kinds of troubles.

The age group with the biggest changes is usually replaced at an integer age of 10 or 20. After adulthood, the changes are not that big, and the interval can be longer, such as every 20 or 30 years.

When Chen Xiao first learned about this system, he felt that it was similar to replacing an ID card when it expires, except that this was voluntary, while ID cards had to be replaced when they expired.

There are many families like Hanwa who don't have knowledgeable people in their family and can't afford to hire a name master. Often, a nickname is given when the child is born and the name is put on the name list first. As the child grows up, a full name is slowly given. If no good name can be thought of, some people may spend their whole lives with a rustic name like Gou Wa or Chou Pi.

When you come up with a good name, when you change your name album at the age of ten or twenty, you change the name on it. This is called Shangda Ming.

Chen Xiao rushed back this time, not only wanted to see with his own eyes what the people of Xianmen looked like, but another important reason was to change the name on the name plate.

Hanwa's family name is also Chen. He can call himself by his own name again by simply changing "Hanwa" on the name plate to "Xiao".
